Hezbollah could turn the entirety of Lebanon into a war zone, IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi said in a Saturday evening address.
“Southern Lebanon is a war zone and will remain as such as long as Hezbollah continues operating from within it,” Halevi said. “Hezbollah may turn all of Lebanon into a war zone, there will be dire consquences for that,” he warned.

No one was harmed by the rocket’s impact. However, significant damage was caused to the home.
In addition, fighter jets also completed an attack on Hezbollah positions in the area of the Meiss El Jabal and Yarine villages, in Lebanon’s south.
